A Beginner's Guide To Decorating Your Bedroom

The decor and ambiance of your bedroom should be one of the most important areas of your home

. Think of it this way - not only do you spend eight hours sleeping there, but you may also spend time there relaxing, reading, or watching television before bed. So, be sure to choose wisely when picking the furniture and accessories that will go into your bedroom.

The first step is picking furniture - everything else in the room, like the comforter, curtains, wall decorations, and more, will be chosen based on the furniture, so that's where you should start. Evaluate your apartment to see how much space you have to work with. You should also consider what type of look you're going for - do you want a modern look where there's lots of open space, or a more cozy feel? This will help determine how much furniture (and what types) you'll need.

Next, decide what you'll use your bedroom other than sleeping, like if you want to use it for reading, plan to purchase a bedside table, lamp, and perhaps a bookshelf. Also, if you want to use it for watching TV, plan to purchase a TV stand.

Determine the size of the room is important as to which pieces of furniture to buy. If you have a large room, you might have space for a futon, small chair, or something similar. In cases of having a small space, you'll want to minimize the amount of furniture so it doesn't look too jumbled.

After you've decided upon the furniture, next is to choose a color scheme. Medium to dark brown colors have been known to be ideal for the bedroom because they're very relaxing and soothing. Greens are a recommended color as well, as they also promote a sense of nurture and satisfaction.

Aside from these two colors, consider the following general rules. If you want a feeling of spaciousness, use paler shades because they reflect light rays instead of absorbing them. If you want a warm, cozy feeling, use bright, strong colors. This will help "humanize" the space and make it more welcoming. Use these colors for the main focal points, like the comforter and curtains - then, choose photography and wall art based on accent colors.

Keep in mind that you spend more time in your bedroom that anyone else, so it reflects your personal tastes. Proper decoration is important and your bedroom is somewhere that you'd be really happy.
